About Summit
Ivonescimab, known as SMT112, is a novel, potential first-in-class investigational bispecific antibody combining the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects associated with blocking VEGF into a single molecule. Ivonescimab displays unique cooperative binding to each of its intended targets with multifold higher affinity when in the presence of both PD-1 and VEGF. Summit has begun its clinical development of ivonescimab in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with three active Phase III trials:
HARMONi is a Phase III trial evaluating ivonescimab with chemotherapy vs placebo plus chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC after progression on a 3rd generation EGFR TKI (e.g., osimertinib).
HARMONi-3 is a Phase III trial evaluating ivonescimab with chemotherapy vs pembrolizumab with chemotherapy in first-line metastatic NSCLC.
HARMONi-7 is a Phase III trial evaluating ivonescimab monotherapy vs pembrolizumab monotherapy in first-line metastatic NSCLC with high PD-L1.
Ivonescimab is an investigational therapy not approved by regulatory authorities in Summit’s license territories, including the United States and Europe. It was approved for marketing authorization in China in May 2024. Ivonescimab received Fast Track designation by the FDA for the HARMONi clinical trial setting.
